This film gets a solid 9 for a MADE FOR TV movie. A quick rundown. The actors are very good. The movie theme is very good. The scenery and locations are very good. The filming is very good. The characters are very good. I probably should put an extra "very" in front of everyone of the previous descriptions as it is all that good.
The movie keeps you interested from start to finish. There were only two minor problems that I found. For those that expect top level graphics, they will not be found here as it often is with many lower budget movies. However, it distracts very little from the movie as it is the characters and story that are the main focus. Though the special effects are far from great they are masterly handled to the point that it is a very minor thing. Don't get me wrong. The quality is not all that bad, but it is not Blockbuster movie level which it does not need to be. A more significant minor problem is that whoever wrote the story seems to have the belief that the even an average mind will not pick up on the fact that all these out of the ordinary things are happening but no one in the film seems to pick up on that fact that they are out of the ordinary.
Of course I must say that I am very oriented to logic. While I can accept wild non fact based theories as being possible, once one steps into the realm of fairly unbelievable, my mind reacts negatively. In other words I can believe that intelligent life can exist elsewhere in the universe. However, I cannot believe any statement that says 90 percent of the people in the United States do not believe that Coke and Pepsi are soft drinks. The first statement about alien life seems very possible to me, the second does not. Of course this is just one man's opinion, so do watch this movie as it is very entertaining for SCI-FI fans.
